CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-An incoming Balti-

through the crowd boarding the Illinois Cen
tral suburban train at Van Buren, station
last evening. Fully 200 people were throng-

whistle or note of warning the train
was upon them. In an instant
Miss Lottie Landerville was thrown fifteen
or twenty feet, and fatally injured. I'm
mediately after the accident the Baltimore
and Ohio train backed up, and had barely
stopped when the cab was boarded by an
infuTiated crowd Of persons who had mar
rowly escaped death. The engineer was
roughly seized, and cries of Lynch him n
"Kill him!n were shouted from hundreds
of throats. Just in time to
prevent the crowd from executing
its threats two Central detail officers arrived
and rescued the covering man from the
throng of avengers. The engineer was
quickly spirited away and his name could
not be learned. There seems to be no excuse
for the accident. The Baltimore and Ohio
train was going at full speed when it should
have been at a stand. There was no sound
